I. INTRODUCTION
Catalase (hydrogen peroxide oxidoreductase, EC1.11.1.6) is a group of oxidoreductase enzyme that catalyzes degradation of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxigen, and oxidizes electron donors such as ethanol, methanol and phenol [1],[2]. In the living organism, it is role to protect the cell from reactive oxygen spesies (ROS) [3]. This enzyme is classified into four groups based on their molecular weight: monofunctional heme (typical) catalases, catalase-peroxidases, manganese catalases, and catalase-phenol oxidases (CATPO). Monofunctional heme catalases is heme catalase that have iron-protoporphyrin IX as prosthetic group in their active sites and it have molecular masses of 200-340 kDa and also it was grouped into two classes based on their subunits constituent: small-subunit catalases (<60 kDa) and large-subunit catalases (>75 kDa) [4].
Today, monofuctional catalase have been applied in various industrial fields, such as food and textile [2],[5],[6], analytical fields as a component of different biosensor systems [6],[7],[9], medical [10] and also in energy [11]. Several researches reported that fungi could produce catalase effectively [12], such as: Paracoccidioides brasiliensis has been isolated from yeast cells grown in the presence of 15
mM of hydrogen peroxide and resulted the catalase yield and purity were 79% and 1.3-fold (aceton precipitation), respectively. The molecular weight from this fungi is 244 kDa [13]. The Aspergillus niger that tolerance to heavy metals and hydrogen peroxide have been reported by Buckova et al [14]. Catalase activity increased in Thermoascus aurantiacus when growth on medium containing 20 g/L dextrin and 1% ethanol and pepton [15].
Other fungi that also produced these enzyme are Aspergillus oryzae [16], Penicillium marneffei [17], Blakeslea trispora [18], Neurospora crassa [18-20], and Scytalidium thermophilum [21]. These fungi generally tetrametric enzyme that have subunits of molecular masses in the range of 61–97 kDa. Several patent of microorganism producing catalase has been reported too, Example Geobacillus extremocatsoochus MTCC 5873 [22], and Helicobacter [23].
types of enzyme potential [24]. According to that, there are great potencies to obtain catalase producers. One of the fungi that have potential to produce the hydrogen peroxide oxidoreductase is Neurospora crassa [18-20]. It has three monofunctional catalases, two large-subunit catalases, CAT-1 and CAT-3, and a small-subunit catalase, CAT-4. It also has a catalase peroxidase, CAT-2, five peroxidases, and four peroxiredoxins. CAT-1 (AY027545.2) is associated with non-growing cells and is accumulated particularly in asexual spores (conidia). CAT-3 (AY027544.2) is associated with growing cells and is induced under different stress conditions [20]. To date, The utilization of this mold that isolated from Indonesia have not been reported.
Ema (2015) used Neurospora crassa InaCC F226 that be grown on potato dextrose agar medium and precipitated by 60% ammonium sulphate resulted in specific activity, fold and yield, 3338.6 U/mg, 6.1 fold and 88.6%, respectively (unpublished data). Diaz et al reported that Neurospora crassa which be grown on the Vogel’s medium had specific activity 1,4040.9 U/mL and yield 48% [25]. Therefore, In the Current study we focus on production of catalase on the Vogel’s medium and purification by filtration gel. The characterization of catalase, including temperature, pH, metal ions, Km and Vmax were also investigated. The current study also focus on determination of molecular weight using SDS PAGE.
II. MATERIAL AND METHODS
A. Material
All of the chemical were from Merck chemical unless otherwise stated.
B. Strains, culture conditions and preparation of crude
enzyme
Neurospora crassa (no. F226) were obtained from the Indonesia Culture Collection. This mold were isolated from the leaf litter at the Salak mountain. It was grown from stocks of conidia to slant agar medium. Conidia were inoculated on solid minimal-medium of Vogel [26], supplemented with 1.5% sucrose (w/v) and the cultures were incubated for 3 days in the dark at 30oC followed by 2 days in the light at 25oC [20]. Cell extract was centrifuged 15 minutes at 13000 x g and 4oC. The supernatant was joined and it was used as the crude enzyme solution.
C. Catalase Purification
The 60% ammonium sulfate precipitate was stirred an hour and centrifuged. The precipitate was resuspended in 5 mL of 50 mM sodium phosphate buffer, pH 7, after that the enzyme was dialysis. And than 15 mL of Sephadex G-75, equilibrated in the same buffer, was added [25]. The recovered Sephadex G-75 sludge was stirred for 3 h at 90oC, washed with 100 mL of 50 mM sodium phosphate buffer, and then loaded on a small column (1.5 cm x 15 cm). The column was washed with 100 mL the same buffer and 500 μL of the 60% precipitated enzyme eluted with 50 mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7). The highest activity fractions were collected and concentrated using a nanosep 10K centrifugal concentrator omega (Pall, life biosciences) [27].
D. Enzyme assays
The commonly used procedure to investigate catalase activity conducted from modification of Didem’s method [27]. The hydrogen peroxide was used as substrate and decrease of hydrogen peroxide concentration was measured spectrophotometrically at 240 nm. The catalase activity was measured in controlled temperature (35oC) in 50 mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.0). The 0.03 mL free enzyme were mixed on 0.97 mL 20 mM hydrogen peroxide in buffer solution. The decrease of absorbance concentration hydrogen peroxide at 240 nm was monitored. Enzyme activity was determined using the initial rate of the reaction and the extinction coefficient for H2O2 of 39.4 M
−1
cm−1 [28]. One enzyme unit was defined as the amount of enzyme that catalyzes the decomposition of 1 μmol H2O2 per 3 minute at 35oC.
E. Measurement of protein concentration
To measure of protein concentration on solution was used the Bradford’s method [29]. A sample of 0.01 mL was added into 0.99 mL of Bradford solution in the test tube. It were incubated at room temperature for 10-15 min. The quantity of protein in solution was determined by spectrophotometer at wave length 595 nm using bovine serum albumin as standard protein.
F. Determination of molecular weight of Neurospora crassa
catalase
The purity of catalase was conducted from modification of Kandukuri et al [30] by SDS-PAGE using 30% polyacrylamid gel. The crude, 60% ammonium sulfate, and gel filtration were treated with 30% SDS and heat denatured at 70oC for 20 min before loading on the gel, the prepared samples were loaded on to the gel and electrophoresis was carried out at 200 V, 40 A, for 140 min. After the electrophoresis the gel was subjected to Coomassie Brilliant Blue R-250 staining for 24 h and molecular weight was estimated with the help of a medium range (20-250 kDa) protein ledde (Bio-Rad).
G. Determination of optimum pH and temperature on
catalase activity
The optimum pH for catalase was determined using various pH buffer solutions ranging from 5.0 to 9.0 using 50 mM of the following buffers: citrate-sodium phosphate (pH 5.0-5.5), sodium phosphate (pH 6.0-8.0), and Tris-HCl (pH 8.5-9.0). Enzyme concentration and temperature were kept constant as stated in standard assay condition. The residual activities were calculated by taking the ratio of the enzyme activities at different pH values compared to the maximum enzyme activity [27].
H. Effect of inhibitor and metal ions on catalase activity
To determination of inhibitor and metal ions, the enzyme was incubated in the various concentrations (0.5 to 1.5 mM) of inhibitor EDTA and metal ions (Fe+2, Cu+2, Mg+2, Mn+2, and Ca+2) [30]. The concentrated eluate obtained from 60% ammonium sulfate was incubated for 15 min at water bath (40oC) with inhibitor and metal ions made in 50 mM phosphate buffer, pH 7.0 [20]. The percentage of activity relative was calculated. For all inhibitor and metal salt concentration the enzyme (U/mL) used for incubation was kept constant.
I. Determination of Km and Vmax on catalase enzyme
The kinetic parameters Km and Vmax were determined for catalase activity. Different concentrations of H2O2 (0.5 to 40 mM) were prepared in 50 mM phosphate buffer, pH 7.0. Hydrogen peroxide with various concentration was incubated for 2 min at water bath (40oC), than addition 30 μL of enzyme from 60% ammonium sulphate, after that incubated for 3 min at water bath (40oC). The rate of H2O2 decomposition was estimated spectrophotometrically at λ= 240 nm (UV-Mini 1240, Shimadzu). The data obtained were plotted according to the method of Lineweaver–Burk to determine Km and Vmax graphically [30].
III.RESULT AND DISCUSSION
A. Precipitated of enzyme by Ammonium Sulphate
Neurospora crassa InaCC F226 grown in the Vogel’s medium and incubated 5 days (3 days in the dark at 30oC followed by 2 days in the light at 25oC). In the range of the time, the enzyme resulted the highes of activity and it useful in the production of enzymes in the cell. Biomass harvested from solid medium and it was collected as much as 25 Gram. The cells were destroyed using an sonicator (Q-Sonica CL-188) and dissolved in the 100 mL of Na-phosphate buffer (50 mM, pH 7.0) containing 3% hydrogen peroxide. The supernatant containing crude enzymes of catalase was separated from cells using centrifugator at 15 minutes, 13000 x g and 4oC.
The crude enzyme in the supernatant was precipitated by ammonium sulphate. The precipitation enzyme using ammonium sulphate can stabilize the protein from denaturation, proteolysis and contamination of bacteria. In our study, the supernatant (100 mL of crude enzyme) was precipitated by 60% ammonium sulphate at 4oC and centrifugation at 10000 x g and 4oC. The precipitated enzyme was dissolved with Na-phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) untill the volume being 10 mL and it dialysis at over night (4oC) in the Na-phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) to eliminate the ammonium sulphate and other ions that can contamination of enzyme. The 60% ammonium sulphate precipitation resulted a specific activity 305.2 U/mg (Table 1). This result showed that the purity of the enzyme is quite good when compared of crude enzyme (136.7 U/mg). It value was less than reported by Diaz et al [25] and Ema. Ema (2015) reported that the specific activity of catalase Neurospora crassa InaCC F226 is 3338.6 U/mg while Diaz et al reported the specific activity of catalase from Neurospora crassa with combination precipitation (ammonium sulphate and aseton) was 1,4040.9 U/mg. These combination selected based on
catalase stability in organic solvents and denaturing agents and also took advantage of catalase hydrophobicity. Fang et al [15] reported that addition of 20 g/L dextrin and 1% ethanol and peptone in the medium culture Thermoascus aurantiacus can improve of catalase activity (1594 u/mL). It was concluded that dextrin might act as a major carbon source in the complex, while ethanol was rather a stimulator than a carbon source. The stimulation effect of ethanol on catalase production was postulated to be two aspects; catalase-dependent alcohol metabolism is activated by acute alcohol, thus more catalase need to be synthesized for that use, named direct induction. As for indirect induction, which may result from little amount of H2O2 generation in process of NADH regeneration in respiratory chain.
The yield of the purification in this process were lower than several reported (Table 2). It might be caused the concentration of nitrogen, carbon source and effect of inducer that used in growth medium [31-34]. Gromada and Fiedurek [35] reported that replacing of NaNO3 and peptone with KNO3 and yeast extract can increase of catalase activity 1.5 and 1.3 fold, respectively.
Futhermore, increasing of production the catalase was observed by effect of stress condition by adding inducer. Zhenxiao Yu [2] reported that addition of 2% to 4% ethanol can decreased catalase activity from 33,966±22.78 to 18,564±20.16 U/mL. In this study, there is effect of the ethanol that produced during fermentation process. It was indicated by alcohol odor from fermented culture after 3 days. Addition of 0.5% Triton X-100 can also improve the production of catalase (12,760±20.45 U/mL).
B. Purification catalase by Sephadex G-75
In our study, we used the matric of chromatography using Sephadex G-75 to increasing the purity of catalase. This matric can separate peptida and protein with range of molecular weight between 3000 to 80000. The final result of separation is affected by the type of a column that used. Column used should be free of air bubbles, free of impurities, and the flow rate of column relatively constant.
The purification enzyme using chromatography resulted one peak at 240 nm (Fig 2). The fraction of 13-19 resulted catalase activity from 4.3-4.1 U/mL. The specific activity of purified enzyme using filtration gel (1464.9 U/mg) was high compared to crude extract (136.7 U/mg) and ammonium sulphate (305.2 U/mg). It is because of the protein constituent of catalase has been separated to protein of catalase and the contaminant. Therefore, the enzyme afinity toward substrate was high (table I).

D. Optimum pH and temperature on catalase activity
The aim of pH and temperature optimization is to know on the optimum condition in catalytic process at substrate degradation. The range of pH that used in this study is 5.0-9.0. In our study, the catalase was found to be stable in broad pH range of 5.0-9.0 (fig 4) and optimum pH obtained from Neurospora crassa InaCC F226 were 7.0 (fig 3) with catalase activity 264.8 U/mL and the relative activity 100%. In the pH 5.0; 6.0; 8,0;9.0 the catalase activity were 211.7 U/mL (77.9%); 237.3 U/mL (87.3%); 249.6 U/mL (91.9); and 234.9 U/mL (86.5%), respectively. Generally, catalase that isolated from fungi stable at range pH 6-9 [12]. Daniel et al [37] reported that catalase-I and catalase-II isolated from Trigonopsis variabilis active in the pH range 3.0 and 10.0 and optimum pH at 5.0 and 8.0, respectively. Dindem Sutay et al [27] also reported that catalase from Scytalidium thermophilum active at pH 7.0. The same result also reported by Kandukuri [30] that isolated catalase from sprouted black gram (Vigna mungo) seeds, while Tian [33] reported that Hansenula polymorpha active at pH 2.6. These results indicated that the stability of pH enzyme in the microorganism each other not same. It is maybe caused condition of the place where is the fungi isolated, species and metabolism of the fungi.
The condition of temperature catalase optimum contained in 40oC (100%) with unit activity 286.1 U/mL (fig 4) and it stable at 35oC, retained >85 % of the activity up to 2 h (data not showed).

E. Effect of inhibitor and metal ions on catalase activity
The effects of inhibitor and various metal ions (0.5-1.5 mM) on the activity of purified catalase were studied at pH 7.0 and 35oC by addition of respective cation to the reaction mixture (Table 3). The addition of Fe+2 at level concentration of 0,5 mM increased catalase activity by 102.8% and 144.7%, respectively, while the activity decreased at the addition of 1.5 mM (89.6%). The increasing of activity on catalase caused addition of iron also reported by Tian (enhanced 60%). The addition of Ca+2 at level concentartion of 0.5 mM can increase catalase activity by 111.2% and declined at concentration of 1-1.5 mM (91.8% and 82.5%) of the control (control of enzyme without addition metal ions). These result similarly reported by Kandukuri that addition of Ca+2 till 1 mM can increase the activity of catalase (130%) and there was decrease in the activity at 1.5 mM and 2 mM (125%, 89%). The declined catalase activity in the present of EDTA, Cu+2, and Mn+2 showed at table 3. EDTA known to be a metal chelator would have chelated the Fe+2 metal ions from the active site of catalase there by inhibiting the activity [30].

F. Determination of Vmax and Km
To determination of Vmax and Km in the catalase catalytic activity, the enzyme was incubated in various concentration of hydrogen peroxide (0.5-40 mM) at pH 7.0, and 40oC to 3 min. In this study, the kinetic parameters for catalase Neurospora crassa InaCC F226 was analyzed by Lineweaver Burk plot (Fig 4). Based on the Michaelis’s curve, the concentration of 10 mM hydrogen peroxide was a concentration that needed of catalase to get a half of catalase maximum velocity. The value of Km and Vmax catalase Neurospora crassa InaCC F226 from Lineweaver Burk is 8.8 mM and 5.7 s.mM-1, respectively.
